Unique paletas ( popsicles) sorry are fruit and cream based.
Junelle F.

I've been to this place twice. Giving it another shot. Good concept and great flavors but it's average. For me,It's not crave able. I'm sure it's great during the summertime. It's a big space with seating,no lines, cashier was helpful and gave us some samples to taste.

I live downtown and have passed by this spot for a while! So glad I stopped in. Really clean and cool decor. Lots of seating and friendly staff. The Cookie Monster ice cream was sooo good and pricing isn't bad for a little treat. Will def come back. I love how the my have such a variety of options like classics and unique flavors.

This place had been on my list for a while and i After trying it its moved to my list of places to go back to. You can choose between paleta or ice cream. The staff recommended the Cookie Monster paleta which was amazing! 10/10 for presentation and an extra 10 for flavor the inside of the place is cool. It's got a space theme going on. My only complaint is limited parking so I had to park in the garage down the street. This place is worth a visit I would totally recommend.

I have been wanting to check out Paleta Planeta for the longest time and finally got a chance to on a Sunday around 8:45pm! Located in downtown SJ and there is a parking garage right across the street. It was not too busy when we arrived. Limited indoor seating. They sell ice cream scoops and paletas (Mexican popsicles) with very unique flavors. The staff said the Cookie Monster paleta is the most popular, so I ordered that with a half chocolate dip. The ice cream was very creamy and sweet! I liked how there was a whole Oreo and cookie inside the paleta - messy but delicious. Satisfied my sweet tooth for the night. Very friendly staff. I wish the store didn't close so early (9pm). I'll definitely be returning!

Fruity Pebbles
Roneil S.

Today my friend and I were exploring downtown San Jose and decided to look up the best ice cream spots in the area. Paleta Planeta popped up as one of the top-rated places, so we had to check it out -- and it definitely lived up to the hype! Right when we walked in, we were impressed by how clean and inviting the shop was. The space-themed décor -- complete with an astronaut, LED lighting, and colorful wall art -- really gives the place a fun "outer space" vibe. When it came time to order, it was tough to choose because every flavor looked amazing. I went with the Fruity Pebbles, because really, how can you go wrong with that? It was like having breakfast in a bowl! The first bite immediately reminded me of that sweet, creamy flavor you get from the last few sips of milk in a bowl of Fruity Pebbles -- exactly what I was hoping for. They also have plenty of non-dairy and vegan options, which is a big plus. Shoutout to Mauricio, the owner, for his friendly energy and great customer service. He was super welcoming and let us try a few samples before deciding. If you're ever in the San Jose area, definitely give Paleta Planeta a visit. You won't regret it -- ¡Provecho!

Fun IG friendly atmosphere
Rimi K.

Absolutely obsessed. Parking on the street pretty readily available free on Sundays. Right across the street from City Hall on the corner of fourth Street in Santa Clara St. Definitely the more fun part of downtown San Jose. Ordered: Kiwi strawberry mango Paleta Berries and cream Paleta Ube, Coco Horchata Paleta Chocolate ice cream Banana Horchata Paleta All of the platelets were absolutely delicious and fresh. The service here is really amazing. Everybody's super sweet and they say hi and bye to you when you come in and leave. In celebration of the name, they have a completely space atmosphere with astronauts and lots of fun opportunities to take pictures here. This is my new go to ice cream spot. When I'm feeling like a frozen tree, this is absolutely where I go. 100% recommend without a doubt.

Fresa Chile (Strawberry Chili) - Paleta

I absolutely loved this place! The paletas were super yummy and there is so much seating.i thought the theme was really cute. Definitely coming back if I'm ever in the area again.

Biscoff. $5.

4.7: Cafe oreo. Coffee base, with oreo and sliced almonds. Excellent. 3.8: Cafe Biscoff. Not as good as regular biscoff. 3.0: Gansito: with strawberry mix-in. 2.0: Cinnamon Toast Crunch. The cereal mix-in is rubbery.

Berries and cream / Horchata
Amy F.

Perfect little ice cream shop in downtown SJ. You can get a popsicle (paleta) and scooped ice cream. They offer toppings and drizzles to anything you order. I got a horchata popsicle and berries and cream. Both were so good! The horchata didn't overpower with cinnamon and the berries was a good combo between tangy and creamy. The texture of their paletas were perfect! Not too icy and not too soft. Will definitely come back!

Mango limon with chamoy and tajin
Jill U.

Greeted when we entered by their friendly staff who welcomed us and let us know how it worked. Even offered samples of the gelatos without asking. We ordered a mango limon popsicle with chamoy and tajin and the banana n brownie gelato. Both were good! The paleta delicious! There are plenty of places to sit and enjoy your dessert. The shop was clean and spacious.

Their mascot, the Astronauta!
Nohemy C.

My second time back and I had the Mango Melon paleta without toppings. It was so fresh that it tasted like I was biting into the fruit. My kid had a mix of the Mazapan ice cream and fresa sorbet. He had never had Mazapan (the candy) but my husband said it tasted just like it while being smooth and creamy. The service was super friendly and we even had a nice conversation about my pitch for vegan Horchata options. On a Friday afternoon, they had a steady stream of customers but plenty of seating inside with music playing.

Went back again on a Sunday--It was hot so we expected them to be busy but were pleasantly surprised to find no line. My friend and I ordered fruit-based paletas and were super pleased with the selection and overall flavor. This corner business is the perfect place to hang out and watch the cruisers drive by--i love that the staff is so friendly and gives great recommendations.

Paulina G.

First time at this place after driving by a couple of times and seeing it on IG and so glad we stopped in! There was no line when we walked in so we were helped quickly by the gentleman at the counter. The decor was so cute inside, I totally dig it. I got a mango tajin paleta and my husband got cookies and cream. best Paleta I've had in awhile! 10-10 recommend!

Ask the Community - Paleta Planeta

Are any of the paletas vegan (no dairy, eggs, etc.)? I'm guessing that the water-based paletas are, but want to make sure.

Yes you are correct. Our water-based paletas are non-dairy, contain no egg and vegan.

Are all your selections eggless? We don't eat eggs and wanted to check before we stop by.

While we do offer egg free options there is some options that might contain egg. Our water based flavors would be an egg free option. Some of our milk based flavors might contain egg in the ingredients used.

It was definitely noticeable in the soft serve and made everyone else around us notice it too. The soft serve was smooth and creamy, not icy like cafeteria quality soft serve.

Definitely check it out if you want dessert in the area! Plus the place itself is so cute!

They weren't too busy, so we took our time trying to decide what flavor of ice cream to get. They have a lot of unique flavors. They also have a designated counter where you can stand and enjoy your ice cream inside. The young lady helping us was very nice and let us know that we could sample anything we'd like. We tasted a sample of the SF Fog. It's an Earl Grey ice cream with marshmallow fluff. It really did look like the fog in San Francisco. It was delicious. We both liked it. So we decided to get a scoop of that and a scoop of the Black Out. The Black Out ice cream is a chocolate ice cream mixed with brownies and Oreo cookies. We decided to eat it inside. The Black Out ice cream was so rich and delicious. The flavor of the SF Fog was perfect. It had a strong Earl Grey flavor. It's a perfect treat to end our evening out.

I ordered their fresh sugarcane drink, and wow -- it was incredibly refreshing, perfectly balanced, and tasted so pure and natural. You could really tell it was made with real sugarcane; it was lightly sweet, crisp, and incredibly thirst-quenching. It paired beautifully with the desserts! Then came the star of the show: their macarons. These were easily some of the best I've ever had. The shells were perfectly crisp on the outside with that ideal chewy center, and the fillings were rich, flavorful, and not overly sweet. I tried a few different flavors and each one was a little masterpiece -- delicate, elegant, and bursting with taste. They practically melted in my mouth! The ambiance is cozy and inviting, the staff is super friendly, and everything feels made with so much care and passion. If you're looking for a charming spot to satisfy your cravings with high-quality sweets and refreshing drinks, **The Sweet Corner** is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back soon -- probably with friends next time so I can try even more! Highly recommend!

The decor feels…read morevery European--there's a large mural with Paris-style buildings and even the Eiffel Tower--but then you look at the menu and it's a mix of both European desserts and Asian chè-style options. It's an interesting blend that kind of works, even if it takes a second to figure out what the "theme" is supposed to be. They offer a wide range of desserts and drinks. On one side, you've got items like tartufo (chocolate, cappuccino, limoncello, pistachio), sorbets, and cheesecake slices in the display case. On the other side, they have traditional Vietnamese-style desserts like sweet soups (chè), grass jelly, black-eyed bean pudding, and combo desserts with things like cassava, jelly, and coconut. There's also a solid drink menu with milk teas, fruit teas, smoothies, and specialty coffees. I ordered the latte with matcha foam, and while I don't usually go for sweet drinks, this one was definitely on the sweeter side--but still really good. The matcha foam added a nice earthy balance to the coffee underneath. My friend got the three-color iced drink (the one with layered beans and jelly), and if you're into that texture and flavor profile, you'd probably enjoy it. The service stood out. The man helping us (possibly the owner) was very friendly, patient, and took the time to explain menu items, which I appreciated since some of the desserts aren't as familiar if you haven't had them before. The display case also looked well-stocked and clean, with everything neatly packaged and labeled, which made it easy to browse. Overall, it's a solid spot if you're in the area and want something a little different from the usual dessert shops. The only reason it's not a full 5 stars is because the concept feels slightly all over the place, but the quality, variety, and service definitely make it worth checking out.
